JOINING SIA TO START A NEW CHAPTER
STARTING A NEW CHAPTER OF MY LIFE
3 months after ROD, I applied for a aviation job with Singapore Airlines.
There were 3 posts available, cadet pilot, cadet flight engineer and cadet flight navigator.
I was successful in all 3 posts. Most likely is due to my NCC(Air) background couple with my
naval officer experience especially in navigation.
To be accepted as cadet pilot, I need the Singapore Air Force approval. I was not able to get
that approval and was left with the choice of being a Navigator or Flight Engineer.
I decided on being a Flight Navigator and I join SIA in December 1976.
That starts a new chapter of my life. It is to be a very long chapter.
I will dedicate my time to write my beautiful experience in SIA after my retirement.
